When showing retrograde in a horoscope, Mars can cause various types of positive or negative results for the native depending on its working nature, strength, level of activity and some other factors. The natives having retrograde Mars in their horoscopes may experience different types of results depending on the placement of retrograde Mars in various houses of their horoscopes. The scope of a planet to cause various effects in any house of a horoscope is vast and it can’t be contained in some words but I’ll still mention some commonly occurring positive and negative effects of Mars when retrograde and placed in various houses of a horoscope.

Retrograde Mars : When working positively, retrograde Mars placed in the first house of a horoscope can bless the native with very good health, good physique, energetic body, professional success, name and fame among other good things, depending on the type and strength of this benefic influence as well as depending on the overall tone of the horoscope of the native in question. Some natives under the positive influence of this placement are likely to excel in professional fields which require physical fitness, physical skills, physical talent or physical expertise.

Hence some natives having this placement in their horoscopes may become professional cricket players, football players, tennis players, athletes, gym trainers, wrestlers and many other people dealing in various professional spheres which require physical fitness, energy and talent for success. Since these natives are good at possessing a good level of fitness and they usually have much more physical energy than other natives, they have an advantage in these fields due to which they find it easier to excel in fields which require physical skills. Many sports players and other professionals who make good name and money through various physical activities may be blessed by this benefic placement in their horoscopes.

For example, the presence of benefic retrograde Mars in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Aries can bless the native with very good physical energy and accordingly the native may feel inclined towards such fields of sports or other such fields which require good amount of physical energy as well as physical expertise in order to be successful in them. If benefic Sun is also placed in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Aries, the equation may become more positive and the presence of benefic Rahu in the eleventh house of this horoscope in the sign of Aquarius can make this equation even more positive. Accordingly the native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may become a professional sportsperson and he may achieve good amount of success and fame through the sports he engages in.

If benefic Venus is placed in the third house of this horoscope in the sign of Gemini, the equation may improve further and accordingly the native under the combined effect of such benefic retrograde Mars in the first house and all other benefic planets in the already mentioned houses of this horoscope may achieve success on a bigger level, like he may become a successful and famous player, say a football player on national level. The presence of benefic Saturn in the third house of this horoscope in the sign of Gemini and the presence of benefic Moon in the second house of this horoscope in the sign of Taurus can further improve this equation and accordingly the native under the combined influence of all these benefic planets may now become successful and famous on international level also. Such native may achieve many good things during his career and he may earn very good amount of money, fame and recognition as a sportsperson, depending on the overall tone of his horoscope.

Positive retrograde Mars in the first house of a horoscope can also bless the native with a large network of friends and accordingly, many such natives having this placement may have many friends. Such natives may witness gains many times in their lives by virtue of the support and contribution offered by their friends, as and when they need it. These natives are especially lucky in the sphere of friendship and some of these natives may achieve some very big things in their lives by virtue of their friends. For example, a native benefiting from positive retrograde Mars in the first house of his horoscope may get introduced to a movie director by one of his friends, when this native is a struggling actor. Such movie director may cast this native in one of his movies and the native may start making money and fame from more and more movies.

Similarly, another native benefitting from this positive placement may enter into some type of professional competition related to a sphere in which the native has good talent; cheered, encouraged and pushed by his friends. The native may win this competition and he may start seeing more and more success after that, when he was not willing to enter into this competition to start with and all this happened to him by virtue of his friends. Hence the natives having this positive placement in their horoscopes are lucky when it comes to friendship and many of these natives may witness very good things by virtue of their friends.

Positive retrograde Mars in the first house of a horoscope can also form Manglik Yoga in the horoscope of the native due to which many natives benefitting from this positive influence may witness different type and different quantum of good results related to their marriages, depending on the type and strength of this benefic placement, as well as depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. Such Manglik Yoga in the horoscope of a male can bless him with a clever, social and friendly wife who may prove a big asset for the native. Such wife may keep giving good advice to the native as and when it is needed and she may also take care of some part of profession of the native. For example, the presence of benefic retrograde Mars in the first house of the horoscope of a male in the sign of Pisces can bless him with a wise and supportive wife and such native may not only experience a good marriage, but he may also witness rise in his overall luck and success after his marriage.

If benefic Venus is also placed in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Pisces and benefic Mercury is placed in the second house of this horoscope in the sign of Aries, the native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may get a wife who belongs to a rich family or who is professionally well established and the native may receive much professional as well as financial support through such wife or her family members. As more positive planets keep adding to this horoscope, the native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets including benefic retrograde Mars in the first house of his horoscope may witness even better results through his marriage.

The presence of such Manglik Yoga in the horoscope of a female can bless her with a rich and well established husband and the life of this female native may see a great rise after marriage. The female native having such Manglik Yoga may lead an average life until she gets married but by virtue of this benefic yoga, she may get married to someone who is much richer than her and who at the same time, takes good care of her. Such husband usually becomes a friend or a father figure for such female native and he supports her through all the good and the bad in her life. For example, the presence of benefic retrograde Mars in the first house of the horoscope of a female native in the sign of Taurus can bless her with a rich and well established husband and such female may witness good rise in her overall status as well as in her living standard after her marriage. At the same time, if benefic Saturn is also present in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Taurus, the female native under the combined effect of these two benefic planets may profit much more through her marriage.

On the other hand, malefic retrograde Mars in the first house of a horoscope can trouble the native on account of various problems related to different spheres of his life including his marriage, profession and health. Accordingly the natives suffering from this malefic placement may have to face problems which may be of different type and different quantum, depending on the type and strength of this malefic placement as well as depending on the overall tone of the horoscopes of these natives. Such malefic retrograde Mars can form Manglik Dosh in the horoscope and accordingly, the native suffering from this defect may have to face different types of problems related to the sphere of their marriage, depending on their overall horoscopes. Some of these natives may not be able to get married till late or very late in their lives whereas some other such natives may suffer in a different way, which means that these natives may get married at an early age and they may have to suffer great number of problems and troubles through their marriages.

Some of these natives may have to witness one or even two broken marriages by virtue of such Manglik Dosh formed due to the presence of malefic retrograde Mars in the first house of their horoscopes. These natives usually get married to the people who are argumentative and quarrelsome in nature due to which they may suffer on account of frequent arguments and fights with their spouses. In extreme cases of this defect, such a native may have to suffer physical violence inflicted on him or her by his or her spouse. For example, the presence of malefic retrograde Mars in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Gemini can cause problems in the marriage and married life of the native due to which the native may have to face frequent arguments and fights with his wife.

At the same time, if malefic Jupiter is placed in the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Capricorn or if malefic Rahu or malefic Ketu is present in the second house of this horoscope in the sign of Taurus, the native under the combined effect of all these malefic planets may have to suffer a lot through his marriage and he may even have to face the death of his wife by virtue of a long lasting disease, if there are no grace saving planets in his horoscope. For instance, the presence of a combination of benefic Venus and benefic Moon in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Pisces can improve this horoscope a lot and accordingly the native under the combined effect of all these benefic as well as malefic planets may be able to have a good married life, though he may have to go through difficult times during the first few years of his marriage.

Malefic retrograde Mars in the first house of a horoscope can also give very bad results to the native when it comes to friends and friendship. As a result, the native suffering from this malefic placement may suffer losses, setbacks and betrayals from his friends, many times in his life. Many friends of such native are usually not his true friends and they don’t wish well for the native. On the other hand, such friends are jealous of the native and they keep finding ways to make the native fail, suffer or feel small in front of them. The natives suffering from such malefic retrograde Mars in the first house of their horoscopes have a high tendency of having many frenemies, which means that they are likely to have many such friends who seem friends to them but who in reality are their enemies. Such frenemies don’t miss a single opportunity to trouble the native and they cause him setbacks and losses as and when they can.

Malefic retrograde Mars in the first house of a horoscope can also trouble the native on account of professional problems due to which many natives suffering from this malefic placement may have to struggle a lot in order to establish themselves professionally. Some other natives suffering from this malefic placement may have to face losses, setbacks and loss of reputation through their respective professional spheres. Such malefic retrograde Mars can also trouble the native on account of financial problems as well as on account of various health problems which may keep troubling the native for a long period of time. In some extreme cases, the natives suffering from such malefic placement may get afflicted by some fatal diseases which may claim their lives after inflicting much pain on these natives.

For example, the presence of malefic retrograde Mars in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Capricorn can trouble the native on account of health related problems and accordingly such native may have to suffer from some health related issues depending on the rest of his horoscope. If malefic Sun is also present in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Capricorn and malefic Rahu or malefic Saturn is placed in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Gemini, the equation can become much more negative. Accordingly the native under the combined effect of all these malefic planets may have to suffer from some serious disease which may become effective anytime after his age of 28 years and which may trouble him a lot. If there are some other negative planets in this horoscope and there are no life saving planets in this horoscope, the native under the combined effect of all these malefic planets may die at a relatively young or very young age by virtue of such disease.
